| ARTICLES RELATED TO Origin of Albanians | | | |  Origin of Albanians: Encyclopedia II - History of Albania - The Barbarian Invasions And The Middle AgesThe fall of the Roman Empire and the age of great migrations brought radical changes to the Balkan Peninsula and the Illyrian people. Barbarian tribesmen overran many rich Roman cities, destroying the existing social and economic order and leaving the great Roman aqueducts, coliseums, temples, and roads in ruins. The Illyrians gradually disappeared as a distinct people from the Balkans, replaced by the Bulgars, Serbs, Croats, and Albanians. In the late Middle Ages, new waves of invaders swept over the Albanian-populated lands. Thanks to thei ...

| | | | | Origin of Albanians: Encyclopedia II - History of Kosovo - Kosovo from June 10 1999 The war ended on June 10, 1999 with the Serbian and Yugoslav governments signing the Kumanovo agreement which agreed to transfer governance of the province to the United Nations. A NATO-led Kosovo Force (KFOR) entered the province following the Kosovo War, tasked with providing security to the UN Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK). Before and during the handover of power, an estimated 300,000 Serbs and other non-Albanians, mostly Romas, fled the province for fear of reprisals. In the case of the non-Albanians, the Roma in particular were regarded by ...

| | | | | Origin of Albanians: Encyclopedia II - Balkan linguistic union - Languages The languages that share these similarities belong to five distinct branches of the Indo-European languages:
Albanian
Modern Greek
Indo-Iranian (Arli Romany/Gypsy)
Romance languages (Romanian, Aromanian, Megleno-Romanian and Istro-Romanian)
Slavic languages (Bulgarian, Macedonian, Serbian Torlak)
However, not all of these languages have the same number of features shared. That is why they are divided into three groups:
Albanian, Romanian, Macedonian and Bulgarian hav ...

| | | | | Origin of Albanians: Encyclopedia II - Balkan linguistic union - Origins The source of these features as well as the directions have long been debated, various theories being suggested.
Balkan linguistic union - Thracian Dacian or Illyrian.
Since most of these features cannot be found in languages related to those that belong to the linguistic union (such as other Slavic or Romance languages), the early researchers, including Kopitar, believed they had to be inherited from the ancient indigenous languages (Thracian, Dacian and Illyrian) which fo ...

| | | | | Origin of Albanians: Encyclopedia II - Balkan linguistic union - History The earliest scholar to notice the similarities between Balkan languages belonging to different families was the Slovenian scholar Jernej Kopitar in 1829 [1], but only in the 1920s and 1930s the theory was developed, with important contributions Gustav Weigand and Kristian Sandfeld-Jensen (Linguistique balkanique, 1930).
The term "Balkan linguistic union" was coined by the Romanian linguist Alexandru Rosetti in 1958, when he claimed that th ...

| | | | | Origin of Albanians: Encyclopedia II - Albanians - Albanian Nationalism Both Kosovo (a Serbian province though governed since June 1999 by UNMIK, backed by KFOR, a NATO-led international force) and western Macedonia have in recent years seen armed movements (Kosovo Liberation Army, UCPMB, Macedonian NLA) aiming either for independence, greater autonomy, or increased human and political rights.
The fate of Kosovo remains uncertain owing to the reluctance of the Albanian majority to contemplate a restoration of Serbian sovereignty and of the United Nations and NATO to separate the territory definitively fro ...

| | | | | Origin of Albanians: Encyclopedia II - Albanians - Ethnic Albanians Albanian is also a term often given to what would otherwise be called an ethnic Albanian. This is usually someone who is considered by himself or others to be Albanian or of Albanian descent. Several distinguishing characteristics might be:
Cultural connection with Albanian culture
Speaking the Albanian language
Having ancestors who lived in Albania or an area out of which the current Albanian state was formed (i.e. the occupied lands that were part of the Ottoman Empire)
There are ethnic Albanian minorities in several European countries, as well as in the United ...

| | | | | Origin of Albanians: Encyclopedia II - Balkan linguistic union - Timeline of contacts (under development)
Most likely the earliest contact was between the Proto-Romanians and Proto-Albanians, (1st century - 5th century AD) this theory being supported by the Albanian vocabulary borrowed from Balkan Latin, as well as the Romanian substrate, which has words cognates to Albanian words.
The exact area where the contact occurred is under debate, ranging from Northern Albania to Transylvania, for more, see Origin of Romanians and Origin of Albanians. All Romanian varieties (from the Republic of Moldova to the Vlachs of Serbia) are part of the sp ...

The KLA launched a low-intensity guerrilla war characterised by regular bomb and gun attacks on Serbian security forces, state officials and civilians accused of "collaborating" with the Serbian government. In March 1998 Yugoslav army units joined Serbian police to fight the separatists, using military force on a large scale. In the months that followed, hundreds of people were killed and more than 200,000 fled their homes; most of these people were Albanians. Many Albanian fam ...

| | | | | Origin of Albanians: Encyclopedia II - History of Kosovo - The 1990s After the constitutional changes, the parliaments of all Yugoslavian republics and provinces, which until then had MPs only from the Communist Party of Yugoslavia, were dissolved and multi-party elections were held for them. Kosovo Albanians refused to participate in the elections and held their own, unsanctioned elections instead. As election laws required (and still require) turnout higher than 50%, the ...

| | | | | | | Origin of Albanians: Encyclopedia II - Origin of Albanians - Place of origin The place where the Albanian language was formed is also under dispute, but analyses have indicated that it was in a mountainous region, rather than in a plain or seacoast: while the words for plants and animals characteristic of mountainous regions are entirely original, the names for fish and for agricultural activities (such as ploughing) are borrowed from other languages.
It can also be presumed that the Albanians didn't live in Dalmatia, because the Latin influence over Albanian is of Balkan Romance (that evolved into Romanian) o ...
